SHOP PERFORMANCE SHORTBOARDS

Dan Mann's FRK+ is a classic squash tail high-performance shortboard, an enhanced version of the FRK for everyday conditions.

The FRK+ is meant to be ridden slightly shorter than the original FRK round tail. It has all the on-wave benefits of the original FRK with a touch more release through turns that comes from the squash tail and minor adjustments to how the concaves and fin placements relate to the increased surface area of the squash when compared to a round tail.

The feedback on this shape has been that it has a super quick rail-to-rail responsiveness mixed with extremely good drive and release. Most intermediate and above surfers will appreciate the FRK+ for the way it gets out of your way to the point that you don’t even notice it's there - it feels like the most high performance expression of your intentions possible.

Technology

I-Bolic Core Technology

I-beam core construction with flex controlled at the rails using high density foam - an engineering feat developed for performance.

Volcanic Lamination Technology

Forged in fire, this Basalt lamination technology is our sustainable alternative to carbon, and is our most durable with elevated response.

Artificial Wave Technology

Developed specifically to endure the abuse of wave pools, this is a reinforced lamination technology.

Wave Type

An enhanced version of the FRK for everyday waves, the FRK+ is your daily driver. Designed for performance surfing, the FRK+ will work in the smaller stuff but really starts to excel when it hits waist high or bigger. Recommended in 2-6' surf, best in average to epic conditions.

Board Features

Updated from the FRK with a squash tail, this model has all the benefits of its predecessor with a touch more release through turns from the squash tail adjustment. The "engine," or back third of the shape, has incredible drive will still providing release, and is super responsive rail-to-rail. Best paired with Kelly's KS1 fin template.
